ColecoDS
Emulator originally developed in 2011 by alekmaul and updated in 2020-2023
by wavemotion-dave for use with the Nintendo DS/DSi. This emulator handles
11 different systems centered around similar hardware including the CreatiVision.
All known CreatiVision games and utilities work - the emulator supports up to 32K
ROMs (either mapped Legacy A/B, Linear or 32k Bankswapped) and emulates the CSL
expansion RAM from 4000h to C000h for the few homebrews that might need it.
CreatiVEmu
Emulator by Roberto Ventura, coded in may 2001 for use with MS-DOS and
then made Windows-compatible a few months later. It supports all
existing ROMs with accurate video and audio emulation. Complete cassette
tape player emulation, allowing to load/save BASIC listings through
custom "binary log" format.
Unfortunately it's never been publicly released and it's marked as
"discontinued" since 2002.

creatiVision emulator
Excellent emulator originally developed to support the CreatiVision only
in 2016 by Kym Greenshields, now also fully emulates the Laser 2001 and
Salora Manager home computers through a self-developed version of the
BIOS. Great overall emulation quality and an useful option to load
programs from cassette and floppy disk images. Programmed with C and
SDL. Source code available. No user interface (command-line operated).

FunnyMu (unofficial)
My personal revision of FunnyMu, with a few additions:
- fully compatible with all currently dumped ROMs (also 6, 10, 16 and 18KB ROM formats)
- correct colour palette (matching the one in MAME)
- support for right controller emulation and complete keyboard emulation
- mathematics bug-fixes here and there
- screenshot save
- load/save BASIC listings in plain text format
- settings stored to .ini file
- windowed and fullscreen modes available
Windows version is fully compatible with the new CreatiVe-UI
graphics interface, also featuring a quite detailed games database with
screenshots.
Amiga version also available by Amigan Software.
Wii version also available by Wiimpathy.
MAME (formerly MESS)
Since version 0.135 (released on November 7th, 2009), MESS includes
my revision of the CreatiVision driver, with a few additions and
bug-fixes to previous releases.
Emulation quality is very high, though there's still much work to do in
order to add several missing features and to make input management a
little bit more user-friendly.
As of 2017, MESS is incorporated in MAME.
